Where the Difference Lies.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
One contrast between English bathing and
Coney Island bathing is that men and women
In England generally battle separately and at
respectable distances from each other. II is
tacitly understood that one part OF the beach
Is set apart for men and another for women
In Coney Island men and women battle togethe
promiscuously. Thus there appear two great
differences In the modes OF bathing OF the two
peoples. In the one case the sexes battle Sepa-
rately. In the other they battle promiscuously
In the one 1t is more OF private character. In
the other II has perfectly pubic character
The English mode In the use OF tae bathing car
riages and the separation OF the sexes implies
that II Is looked upon more in the hight or a prt-
yate anair, like using the bathroom AT home, and
that II Is more consistent with public decency,
and therefore more refined. The Coney Island
mode Implies that the batherS or the public there
look upon the whole affair almost Numerically
the reverse-that 1t is public affair, just like
walking the streets, to lie done openly In the
crowd.

A Canary's Four Notes.
Er0yy, Sha na<roit Eroa pra.,

In the song Of canary four notes are recognized
by Dealers and they can tell by listening to IL for
a very few minutes whether the bird is German or
American. They are the water note, which is
ripping. gurgnng, attractive bit OF warbling like
the murmur OF rill; flute note, clear and ring
Ing; the whistllnG note, OF the same class, but
very much inner, and the rolling note which Is q
continuous melody, rising and falling only to rise
again: IL Is Ia the lsst-named note that the
american birds fail. They cannot hold IL. Another
olnerence between the two Is that German cana
r1eS are night singerS-they will sing until the
light Is eXunguished. But American birds put
their heads Under their wings with darkness.
